The one, the best, the u-lock that I most highly recommend is the Abus Granit Futura 64, aka U-Lock 64/120HB150 It’s small, it’s light, it’s extra hardened. It’s rated by the manufacturer as more secure that some of their other (heavier) u-locks. Advantages/features of this lock: - small &

I really like the Abus lock you referenced. It has a sturdy but lightweight holster that mounts to water bottle cage braze-ons. I put mine under the down tube on my Bombadil and Atlantis, and I don't even notice it's there until I need it. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 21, 2016, at 9:08 PM,

For quick stops where I won't be far from the bike I use what I call my "touring lock", a Palmy aluminum u-lock: https://www.amazon.com/Palmy-Mini-Aluminium-U-lock-Black/dp/B003VLIWGE It is light, cheap, and provides the appearance that you bike is locked with a u-lock. (They sell them in many
